The students were captivated by goats, sheep, turkeys, and fruit orchards. A homemade fishing pond proved especially popular, providing opportunities to observe, interact, and ask questions about natural ecosystems.
Activities throughout the day encouraged students to apply critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. They learned about entrepreneurship in agriculture, sustainable farming practices, and the importance of environmental stewardship
